There is a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
There’s a good time coming, boys,
Wait a little longer;
We may not live to see the day,
But earth shall glisten in the ray
Of the good time coming;
Cannon-balls may aid the truth,
But thought’s a weapon stronger;
We’ll win our battles by its aid,
Wait a little longer.
There’s a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming,
There’s a good time coming, boys.
Wait a little longer.
There’s a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
There’s a good time coming, boys,
Wait a little longer;
The pen shall supersede the sword,
And right, not might, shall be the lord,
In the good time comidg;
Worth, not birth, shall rule mankind,
And be acknowledged stronger,
The proper impulse has been given,
Wait a little longer.
There’s a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming,
There’s a good time coming, boys,
Wait a little longer.
